AND OVERWEIGHT? By Laura Natalia Benavides Ariza Centro Colombo Americano Challenge 3 (8am-10am)
My position paper is about how fast and low
quality food can affect the public health. Nowadays, a majority of people don’t care about their health, and cases of obesity and other illneses associated with bad food habits have increased around the world and in Colombia. So, According to WHO (World Health Organization) in my opinion, this kind of food should be obesity and overweight cause the death of more prohibited. tan 4 million people around the world annually. Unfortunatelly in Colombia, by 2015 27% percent In the 21st century people have a busy life, they of adult people have overweight and 19% percent work, study, have family, pets and many have obesity, although, by 2017 the porcentage of responsibilities, so, the last thing that they think of obese people had increased to 60% percent. In is what food they’re eating. However, when adittion, 25% percent of Colombian children have normal people are on the Street and they’re this problem, so, there are so young people with hungry, they easily eat the first thing that they find illneses associated to obesity. The more obese you without thinking about the consequences. A busy are, the less you will live; according to specialists a life, cultural factores and budget have made person who has obesity could live five years less people to have awful eating habits. and it is not a crazy idea keeping in mind that illneses like diabetes, high blood pressure, heart problems, high levels of cholesterol and triglycerides and cáncer are associated with overweight.
According to statistics, almost 40% percent of
Colombian people eat more than once a week out of home, from this group of people 6% have breakfast, 72% lunch and 47% dinner out. Of them prefer fast food 51% after casual food 43% and The more governments do campaings to promote finally formal restaurants 41%. Also, the more healthy food habits, the less people care about it, people eat processed food, the less fruits and so, governments around the world should vegetables they eat; according to survey of intervent radically to control this epidemic. In my nutritional situation, ENSIN, 2010, one every 3 opinion, if fast food and proccesed food were people doesn’t eat vegetables every day and one prohibited, the illneses associated with obesity every 4 people eats fast food every week would be decreased. I think that it is the best way (especially young people). In adittion, one every 5 to control the rate of death associate with people drinks carbonated beverage with high overweight, because even though there are quantity of sugar and one every 3 children eats diferent campaings to promote a healthy life, sweeties every day. there are more and more sick people because of eating unhealthy food year after year.
